Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH18 1837
This funding opportunity, titled "Technical Assistance Services to Improve the Control and Prevention Efforts of Tuberculosis (TB) under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)," was issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Center for Global Health (CGH), as a discretionary cooperative agreement (Funding Opportunity Number: CDC RFA GH18 1837; CFDA: 93.067). It was designed to strengthen national tuberculosis control and prevention programs in PEPFAR-supported countries, as well as other countries and settings with a high TB burden. The underlying premise is that TB, while both preventable and treatable, remains the leading infectious disease killer globally, and that durable progress depends not only on clinical tools but also on strong public health systems that can consistently plan, implement, manage, and improve TB programs over time.
The main objective of the notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) was to provide high-quality, targeted, on-the-ground technical assistance and practical interventions that improve program performance and outcomes. The emphasis is on building sustainable capacity within national and local systems rather than creating parallel structures. In practice, that means strengthening the ability of country programs and implementing partners to carry out core TB control functions effectively, including workforce development and institutional capacity building, improving monitoring and evaluation systems, upgrading data management processes, and sharpening outcome measurement so programs can track whether they are actually reducing disease and deaths and closing gaps in detection and treatment.
A central theme of the opportunity is that better TB control requires strong information and performance systems. By focusing on monitoring and evaluation, data quality, and outcome measurement, the NOFO reflects a results-oriented approach where routine program data are used to guide decisions, identify weaknesses (such as missed diagnoses, treatment interruptions, or poor reporting), and measure progress toward national and global TB targets. The technical assistance described is meant to be applied in real operational settings, supporting national programs to improve how they collect, analyze, and use data to drive improvements in case finding, treatment completion, prevention strategies, and overall program effectiveness, especially in high-burden contexts where health systems are often stretched.
Although the original NOFO was an open competitive announcement at the time of release (Creation Date: 2017-08-18; Original Closing Date: 2017-10-17), the text provided here is specifically referencing an amendment that is informational only. CDC is not accepting new applications under this amendment. The stated purpose of the amendment is to add language related to HIV epidemic control under the section on "Other National Public Health Priorities and Strategies," which signals the close link between TB and HIV programming within PEPFAR settings. In many PEPFAR-supported countries, TB is a major cause of illness and death among people living with HIV, so aligning TB technical assistance with broader HIV epidemic control priorities is a practical integration step, even if it does not reopen the competition.
Key administrative details include an unrestricted eligible applicant pool, an anticipated single award (Expected Awards: 1), and an award ceiling of $250,000. As a cooperative agreement, the mechanism implies substantial involvement by CDC compared with a standard grant, typically meaning CDC would work closely with the recipient on planning, implementation, and performance monitoring to ensure the technical assistance is aligned with CDC and PEPFAR priorities and is responsive to country needs. Overall, the opportunity centers on improving TB program performance through capacity building and stronger data and evaluation systems in high-burden, PEPFAR-relevant settings, while the referenced amendment clarifies its connection to HIV epidemic control priorities without soliciting new applications.Apply for CDC RFA GH18 1837
